Wilsons Promontory Cruise from Phillip Island

From US$182.59

Overview

Explore the coastal wilderness of the Wilsons Promontory National Park on this full-day cruise by catamaran from Phillip Island. Spot whales and dolphins as you sail across the Bass Strait; get up close to Australian fur seals at the Kanowna Island sanctuary; and see landmarks like Skull Rock, Wilsons Promontory Lighthouse and Glennie Island. After a delicious on-board lunch (included), cool off by swimming and snorkeling in Refuge Cove.

Departing from Port Welshpool at 9.30 am, your captain and crew will welcome you aboard the comfortable 62-foot (19-meter) motorized catamaran. Indoor and outdoor decks with ample seating provide excellent views as your boat sails over to Wilsons Promontory National Park, affectionately known as The Prom.

Situated on the southernmost point of mainland Australia, Wilsons Promontory encompasses a vast nature reserve laced with swimming and surfing beaches along Bass Strait. The park harbors abundant native wildlife including kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, emus and colorful birds like rosellas and parrots, while dolphins, seals and whales are often spotted offshore.

Throughout the day, your captain shares informative and entertaining commentary. Cruise close to Skull Rock and remote granite islands like Glennie Island, a nature reserve and important breeding ground for short-tailed shearwaters and little penguins. You’ll also check out Kanowna Island seal sanctuary, which hosts one of only four breeding colonies of Australian fur seals. It is also an important site for breeding seabirds.

As you approach Wilsons Promontory, its historic 1859 lighthouse comes into view, perched on the southernmost point of Australia's mainland. Enjoy close views of the lighthouse, which by land can only be reached on foot by walking 11 miles (18 km).

Enjoy a 2-hour stop in Refuge Cove where you can fuel up with a delicious buffet lunch prepared by your crew, and swim, snorkel or stroll along the sparkling white-sand beach. With morning and afternoon tea, plus light nibbles served at sunset, you won't go hungry.

At the end of a memorable 9-hour cruise, your captain returns you to Phillip Island.

A bus pick up is available to be booked directly through wildlife coast cruise at an additional cost of $25 per person. Pick up/Drop off from Cowes, San Remo, Wonthaggi, Inverloch, Meeniyan and Foster.
